Cool kids cook: delicious recipes and fabulous facts to turn into a kitchen whizz

Pre-teens are increasingly interested in getting into the kitchen.

Moreover, they want a cook book that has lots of interesting and fun facts about food, but which doesn't include recipes for rice crispy cakes and doesn't patronise.

This book does just that, aiming to empower kids to a point where they can put a great supper on the table (with a bit of support for the first few years) and then giving them a few exotic dishes with which to show off.

Rather than providing recipes for 'children's food', it offers real, achievable dishes that teach children how to eat healthily, shop cannily and learn the vital basic cooking skills to set them up for life.
